Seeds of Spring

A Series of Seed exchanges, markets, workshops & events

The Seeds of Spring events get you growing!

Planting connections, sharing knowledge, and growing resilient communities
One seed at a time.

Seedy Saturday

A community market event celebrating seeds, gardening, and sustainable agriculture.

Across Canada, these gatherings feature seed swaps, workshops, markets, and opportunities to connect with others passionate about growing and biodiversity.

Our first local Seedy Saturday took place off the back of Robin Wheeler’s truck in a Sechelt parking lot in 1994. It sure has grown since then!

The Seed Exchange

A grass-roots way to give and get seeds that grow food, medicine, and pollinator plants. There is no money exchanged… only seeds. Bring your dry, packaged seeds in labelled envelopes with seed name, variety, year harvested, quantity, and get ready to swap!

We trade open-pollinated (OP), non-hybrid vegetable, fruit, herb or flower seeds. No GMO (genetically modified) or patented seed please. Run by our partners, the Sunshine Coast Seed Saving Collective.

Seed Workshops

Dive into the world of seeds with hands-on workshops led by local mentors, regional experts, and Indigenous knowledge keepers. Explore seed saving, regenerative practices, and the cultural significance of seeds. Whether you’re new to gardening or experienced, you’ll gain skills and inspiration to grow and connect.
